Chapter 89: Goat
[Name] Refugium
[Path] Aether
[Rank] 1
[Ability] Nostalgia
Description: Refugiums are born in places once filled with life, where people of all kinds lived, loved, and died. Abandoned homes, forgotten shelters, and ruined settlements serve as the perfect cradle for their emergence. They feed on lingering joy, offering peaceful sleep and comforting beds to those who remain.
Ability—Nostalgia: Unless moved by an external force, Refugiums stay rooted at the place of their birth until they wither away. To survive, they create an environment so soothing and pleasant that those who enter lose all desire to leave. The Spark gently replays their most cherished memories in vivid dreams, day after day, feeding on the joy they produce. In time, the occupant forgets the outside world entirely, spending their final days in blissful illusion, unaware that their happiness is slowly being consumed.
This is crazy. Adyr frowned, lost in thought.
He had already accepted that a Spark could take any form. But this one stretched even his imagination.
"I wonder what happens if someone evolves with this," he murmured with a dry chuckle.
During evolution, a practitioner would gain one innate talent and one physical trait from the Spark. In his case, he had inherited wings from the Dawn Raven. But trying to imagine someone with a body resembling a house was... absurd.
"They become walking homes, apparently."
